Thanks for the response and information. One thing I am confused about still is the use of quotes. For instance, my winnt.sif file says oempreinstall="yes" whereas the guide you linked to says oempreinstall=yes but other commands are listed as using quotes. Are they required or optional or different for each command? Thanks again.

Does nobody have any suggestions?

Now that we have semantics out of the way, do you have any useful information or suggestions? At this point, all I need is a way to automatically tell those files to run after Windows Setup finishes. This does not involve nLite or any other program. What I am asking is for information on part of the process Microsoft has decided to allow for this type of setup to take place. I am only missing a piece of the puzzle. I mean no disrespect with my comment above. It does seem, however, ridiculous that I ask a question on how the process that this forum is dedicated to works, and the response I get is completely unrelated to what I am asking. I would understand if I was having a problem with nLite and asked for help with nLite, and it was then pointed out that I am using it at work which is not allowed by the author of nLite. So therefore you would be right in denying assistance with nLite. Of course, this is all your choice to do as you please, I can only request assistance. Again, no disrespect to you or anybody here, but does anybody have any suggestions on what I am actually asking about? Thank you.

Hey all. Basically I've been working for the past 3 weeks on a project. I'm putting together an XP installation that will include registry tweaks, include SP3, remove some "features" of XP, include a display driver, and automatically install a set of software. I say it's an XP installation instead of an Unattended Setup CD because I will not be using a cd/dvd for distributing it and it will not be completely unattended. I will still need to set the Key and regional/network settings, etc, upon installing. Basically, I've been using nLite and XP-ISO-Builder to integrate the service packs, drivers, tweaks, and SOME of the software I need. I'm at the point where the install runs off a build made by nLite, then the apps and some other tweaks are run through what was created with a build with XP-ISO-Builder. But after installing Windows, I must manually run the batch and .reg files for the apps and tweaks. I'd like to integrate that to be done automatically after the nLite installation has been completed. I am of course willing to provide any information that would be necessary to help me to achieve this. Let me start with a directory structure for my project: Windows Setup CD (if you will) $OEM$ I386 Autorun.inf Last Session.ini Last Session_u.ini Readme.htm Setup.exe setupxp.htm WIN51 WIN51IP WIN51IP.SP2 WIN51IP.SP3 $OEM$ Folder $1 $$ cmdlines.txt regtweaks.reg konten.cmd runonceex.cmd $1 Folder Apps Drivers Here are my files: cmdlines.txt [COMMANDS] "konten.cmd" "REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg" "runonceex.cmd" konten.cmd net user "PJUser" "" /add net localgroup Administrators "PJUser" /add net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited net localgroup User "PJUser" /delete EXIT runonceex.cmd @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Softwareinstallation" /f REG ADD %KEY%\0 /VE /D "Office2000" /f REG ADD %KEY%\0 /V 1 /D "\"%systemdrive%\apps\Office2000\SETUP.EXE\" TRANSFORMS="Custom.MST" /qn+" /f REG ADD %KEY%\0/V 2 /D "taskkill /F /IM outlook.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\1 /VE /D "AdobeReader7" /f REG ADD %KEY%\1 /V 1 /D "\"%systemdrive%\apps\AdobeReader7\AdbeRdr707_en_US.exe\" /Q /W /S /V"/QN"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\1/V 2 /D "taskkill /F /IM 123.exe" /f Any help or info you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated. Getting this all to happen automatically would be a huge step. Again, if there's more you need please let me know and I will provide.
